AIM
This follows on from the Thermal ling course, as pilots master the skills of ridge soaring and turn their attention to thermal flying, the focus leads to cross-country flight. The challenge and adventure of flying in unfamiliar surroundings are unbeatable. However, flying in the mountains requires a more advanced flying technique. This 3-day course aims to give an introduction to mountain flying with the objective of looking at the necessary skills and decisions that give us the best chance of thermal ling away from the familiar environment of the ridge to the freedom of the open skies.
PARAGLIDING SITES
For gliding, it depends upon weather conditions. The flying season in Nepal commences from November to February. But the best months are between November and December. The main area for flying in Nepal is the Annapurna region, more specifically the Pokhara valley. The micro-climate of the valley makes it an ideal area for flying, with far more constant conditions than the Kathmandu valley 150km east. The gliding is offered in the Mahabharat range however, more is done in Pokhara, the beautiful lakeside town at the bottom of the Annapurna Himal. The starting point for the flight is Sarangkot (1592m), which offers great views of Fewa Lake, where the sunrise and sunset rays land in. If you want to paraglide, you do not need to have experience, as the qualified pilots will provide you with a full briefing before you launch.
